Miss Maryland Princesses

The Miss Maryland Scholarship Program announces the Miss Maryland Princess program. The goal is to motivate and mentor young girls ages 3 to 12, and share experiences that will inspire them to dream of being Miss Maryland and ultimately Miss America.

For $150, each princess will be matched up with a Miss Maryland contestant. The Miss contestant will be a "big sister" to the princess and stay in contact throughout the year. Each Princess will receive a crown and sash, a title, T-shirt and tickets to the Miss Teen Maryland and Miss Maryland Pageant, as well as a special invitation to all Miss Maryland events. Miss Maryland Princesses may participate in parades or make appearances with their title.

The Miss Maryland Princesses will make their debut at the Miss Maryland sign-in ceremony on Sunday, June 15, and will make an appearance at the Miss Teen Maryland program on Friday, June 20, on stage at The Maryland Theatre.
